Seamless in Seattle

Those of you that follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or even Facebook have know that I've been working on a big project for Seattle Magazine's Seamless in Seattle.  It's a contest for clothing/accessory designers in the state of Washington. 

Well today I submitted photos of 5 handbags/totes and 3 clutches in the hopes of winning some wonderful prizes and be included in a fashion show (although I'm not really sure how that works with bags.)  I had 2 of my wonderful friends help model the bags at the beach over this past weekend.  We had so much fun.

I've been keeping my designs secret until now.  I would like to share with you a few of the photos that I submitted as well as brief descriptions.
